This is a Romanian tango (actually the melody is “borrowed” from a Uruguayan tango from 1929) but the Romanian lyrics are divine. Below, their translation by yours truly. The copyright sign is there for a reason, and I’m not kidding about this. You are not allowed to use my translation under no circumstance and for no purpose without my knowledge and permission. The structure of the verses is my own re-arrangement, so don’t bother “correct” it. It’s how I perform it, a cappella.

The Spanish version is with the original lyrics, in which, “zaraza” is no longer a fascinating woman, but rather a gentle little donkey. 🙂 I didn’t bother to translate those. I can barely fit them to the music as they are, so used am I to the Romanian sense of the words.

Welcome…

...to this playground!
Vicious, malicious kids are not allowed.
This is a place for fun and all things nice
that make us in our daily lives forget the wheel of time.
No, not an opium for our sense of measure,
but a mere meaning to its restlessness.

St. Augustin said: "If you have been wronged by a bad man, you should forgive him, so that there won't be two bad persons in the world..." I ask of you, what if that bad person continues to be bad?
